Hyundai palisade 2021 hyundai suv models2/15/2024 ![]() It feels spacious, but most importantly, the interior is versatile and offers a number of configurations, be it seven or eight seats, FWD or AWD, and two punchy engine options to boot. Perfect for growing families, the Palisade is one of the most comfortable cars in this segment. In what is great news for new car buyers, the starting point for this mid-to-large SUV range is now $6,000 less than the MY21 model, while a mid-spec variant has been added to make it three in total.

But take it from this awards judge: the Palisade is a little more refined and a little more comfortable, and may well give you the better value for money. Verdictīoth vehicles will give you what you want for a three-row SUV, and if you believe the awards judges, the Telluride is the better choice. This also suggests there’s even less room for the kids in the Telluride’s already cramped third row. ![]() The total cargo space is about the same when you start folding the seats flat (about 1,300 litres behind the second row, and almost 2,450 litres behind the first row), but the Telluride wins the prize for space behind the third row: 601 litres compared to 509 in the Palisade. You can buy larger SUVs and minivans, but there’s a lot of space inside both these vehicles. The total cargo space is about the same when you start folding the seats flat, but the Telluride wins the prize for space behind the third row. With the Kia, you’ll have to pay at least $54,695 for the Telluride SX Limited, but they’re just a $500 option on the $50,399 Palisade Luxury. For example, let’s say you prefer captains’ chairs in the second row like in these testers – they’re more comfortable but cut the capacity down to seven people instead of eight (and also help separate quarrelling siblings). ![]() The key question, if you’re one of the 90 per cent of buyers who choose a lower trim level, is to compare exactly what you want and what you’ll get for your money. A colourful heads-up display that disappears as soon as you put on your polarized sunglasses? Check. Doors that won’t open when parked if there’s a cyclist coming up from behind on that side? Check. Semi-autonomous driving that stays on for up to three minutes without touching the wheel or pedals? Check. These two testers’ fully-loaded editions featured all the technology that’s available, and it’s all shared between the vehicles. The Palisade has a smoothly integrated central touch screen and push buttons for the transmission. Carry an extra passenger or hockey bag and this all becomes moot, anyway. For some reason, Kia doesn’t disclose a curb weight for the Telluride’s high-end SX Limited or Nightsky editions, to compare it to the Hyundai’s curb weight of 2,022 kg. Highway consumption is almost the same, but it’s the more thirsty city consumption that makes the difference. Perhaps this is why the Telluride has a slightly less efficient fuel consumption rating than the Palisade, ranked by the Canadian government at an average consumption of 11.3 L/100 km compared to 11.1. Press the Sport option on the electronic driving modes and both vehicles drop a gear and seem a bit more powerful I drove the Telluride mostly in Sport, while I left the Palisade mostly in Comfort. If anything, the Kia feels a little more sporty, perhaps firmer on its springs than the Hyundai, but there’s not much in it. ![]() It’s matched to an 8-speed automatic transmission that you won’t notice or even think about, so the push-button controls are well-suited – just press D and forget it.Īll this said, the powertrains and drivetrains are individually tuned by the two companies’ engineers, so they’re not quite identical. They’re powered by the same 3.8-litre V6 that produces 291 hp and 262 lbs.-ft. There’s no real difference between the two.
